addressing the public

By working at many levels within the corporate, government, and underground communities, Black Hat continues to provide a forum for the newest vulnerabilities, defense mechanisms, and industry trends. Research presented at each event draws press coverage from leading industry and business publications throughout the world.

Education plays a crucial role in the fight against cybercrime, a growing concern especially at a time when the internet has become a breeding ground for hackers consistently prowling for victims, says the founder of Black Hat Briefings, an international IT security conference.
